A friend took me for the first time to TEDxRíodelaPlata and I spent all morning crying after the TED talk by Benjamin Zander. From there I did not stop until I internalized about TED and then, another friend called me to collaborate in the organization of TEDxLagunaSetubal which I happily helped to organize the first edition in 2012! Then I also attended TEDxDF Salón, TEDxMontevideo, TEDxSãoPaulo and TEDxTombo. Now, after 13 years, I'm returning to my biggest passion, and I'm leading the design & communications team of TEDxBaseMarambio. The first TEDx event in Spanish will take place at the Argentinian Antartida.

Making people smile!
